Hi Guys,
Wonder if anyone could shed any light on my issue. Just bought a new MBP 15" 2.2 i7 and am receiving extremely low battery life (1.5 hours approx) I'm running at just below 50% brightness and am using it for browsing, music (light use)
Now as far as i'm aware people are getting 4-6 hours from their MBP with lion, so im pretty sure somethings not right. And i wondered if there was anything i could do to resolve the issue without sending the MBP back to Apple. I know you can calibrate your battery but im unsure how to do this, or if it would help. I would imagine that the battery would be fresh, its not a refurb and i've had it literally only 4 days or so.
My concern is that i'll be using it to do 3D modelling on my commute to work (a long train journey) over the next month so i don't want a dead laptop before i've even get to the studio.
Apologies if this is a topic already covered and i've missed it, and thanks for your help/feedback.
David
